A rare Grade II listed Georgian house set in about 2.2 acres, this handsome former dower house offers spacious family living, superb period detail and uninterrupted southerly views across open countryside to Salisbury Plain. The principal rooms occupy the piano nobile with high ceilings, ornate cornices and working sash windows; six bedrooms are arranged over the upper floors with generous principal suite and dressing room.
The gardens are a standout: lovingly managed for decades, they include specimen trees, a rose garden, a productive walled kitchen garden, orchard, summer house and an expansive lawn that merges with the paddock beyond. The gravelled in/out drive, gated access and former coach house provide substantial parking and ancillary space.
Practical considerations are clear and important to any buyer. The property has an EPC rating of F, oil-fired central heating and solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), so improving energy performance will be necessary and potentially costly. Listed status protects historic fabric but restricts alterations and may complicate repairs or modernisation. Council tax is noted as quite expensive.
This house will suit buyers seeking a substantial period home with mature gardens and strong village community amenities—families, those wanting flexible space for home offices or multi-generational living, and buyers who value character and landscape over turnkey modern efficiency. If you want a restored, energy-efficient country home you should budget for sympathetic conservation works and energy upgrades compatible with the listing.
